Default Tension/Machine Quilting

I am trying to machine quilt for the frist time. During the piecing the tension on my machine was good, however when I put on the quilting foot and try to quilt on 3 layers the tension is good on top but loopy on bottom then I have a few good stitches then it goes loopy again. I should add when I use the walking foot the tension is good on both sides, but I want to try free motion.
I have tried to adjust the tension but nothing seems to work. When doing free motion does the tension change with the speed of the machine or how I move the guilt through the machine? If so how can I maintain a consistant machine speed & hand movement? Any help much appreciated Thanks
